EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of NES M7081 standard. The NES M7081 test covers requirements for determining the crease resistance of PVC-coated fabrics used in automobiles.
PVC Coated Fabrics are fabrics made of polyester cloth and coated with PVC. They are the most popular coated fabrics for architectural applications. Architectural PVC coated fabrics are most commonly made with a liquid PVC coating on both sides of the scrim. This is done in a blade coating process.
In most cases, a topcoat is applied, which provides better resistance to dirt by sealing the plasticizers in the PVC, which would otherwise migrate to the surface and make it sticky. Some topcoats provide additional UV resistance that extends the life of the fabric, and some provide a dirt-repellent surface. These fabrics tend to be quite durable, usually lasting twenty years.
Seat fabrics should never be wrinkled during use. Therefore
It is usually coated on one side with polyurethane (PU) foam in thicknesses ranging from 2-10 mm. In addition, such fabrics must be resistant to contamination and can be easily cleaned without the need for any washing machine.
The increasing use of technical textiles in harsh weather and environmental conditions is a major driver of revenue generation in PVC coated fabrics. Another major driver for market growth comes from demand in the automotive industry.
Coated fabrics are widely used in automobile upholstery. Over the years, most manufacturers have been eagerly researching and combining new coating formulations to give their products good waterproofing and breathability. Therefore, product developments are an important trend supporting the expectations in the PVC coated fabric market. For example, numerous manufacturers have tried a combination of PVC and PU formulations to achieve the required results.
